PRINT QUANTITY
FUNCTION
To specify the total quantity of labels to print for a given print job.
FORMAT
<ESC>Qaaaaaa
aaaaaa = Total number of labels to print (1 to 999999)
Place just preceding <ESC>Z, unless <ESC>~ exists, then preceding that. This
command must be present in every print job.
EXAMPLE
<ESC>A
<ESC>H0100<ESC>V0100<ESC>WB1SATO
<ESC>Q3
<ESC>Z
OUTPUT
Three labels containing the data “SATO” will be printed.
NOTES
To cancel a print job, turn off the printer or send the <ESC>CAN code if using the Bi-
Com mode. Multi-Buffer jobs can be cleared with the Clear Print Job (<ESC>*) and
Memory command.
When used with the Sequential Numbering (<ESC>F) command, the Print Quantity
value should be equal to the total number of labels to be printed.
If a Print Quantity is not specified, the printer will not print a label.
For this command, leading zeroes do not have to be entered. The command “Q1” is
equivalent to “Q000001”.
